It was released by M.Carson.
How to open SPH file?
The main problem with Ribbons Sphere Format is that the SPH file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SPH to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SPH file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Ribbons
In this case, you should first verify that the Ribbons application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Ribbons into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file SPH.
Programs to open SPH file
Remember to download programs supporting SPH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ribbons with SPH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SPH file to open in the Ribbons application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SPH file with the Ribbons application.
Step 3. Update Ribbons to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Ribbons program with the Ribbons Sphere Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the M.Carson website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPH file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SPH file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SPH file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SPH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SPH files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SPH files. You can restore the file from a backup or use M.Carson help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SPH files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SPH to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SPH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SPH file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SPH file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
